Ferocious seas that swell and ebb,
in the harbor, inside my head,
in the spite of salt water,
the saline breeze of tears, and the years,
and the reasons for being here,
and those bristled bastards,
that would rush me, judge me,
and dash me to the shores,
and crush me to the rocks,
days go down, and thunderous waves will drown.
i could head into deeper waters...

inanimate ignorant strangers,
intoxicate and hide the dangers,
and lead you to the shore, and dash you on the rocks,
ferocious seas that swell and ebb,
in the harbors, inside my head,
in spite of danger, saline tears,
all those years, and the reasons,
for being here, year after year,
but I won't go down, i will not drown,
i will head for deeper waters...

i will not drown, no not me, deeper water...

set the sails, stoke the boiler,
into the water, i will not drown...

for deeper waters, aim for water,
deeper water, deeper waters,
ferocious seas, i will not drown
